Favorite Things

Of course I have a lot of things in my kitchen that I use on a regular basis. Here are some of my favorites, some unique and others pretty common. I don't believe that any of these are a must have, but they do definitely make my baking life a whole lot easier.

Silpat
This is a wonderful non-stick item that I put on my baking sheets to prevent almost anything from sticking. Seriously it is wonderful and has changed my life :). I only have one right now, but I would love to eventually have a few more.



KitchenAid Mixer
I don't know what I would do without this amazing machine! My sweet husband bought me a heavy duty one for Christmas last year and I have loved it. I haven't found anything that it can't handle. I love love love my KitchenAid mixer and use it almost everyday.



Griddle
I love my griddle. I am not particular on the brand of the griddle used, I just love cooking things at an even temperature. I use mostly for pancakes and grilled cheese sandwiches, but the possibilities are endless.



Tortilla Warmer
I honestly don't typically use this for tortillas, but I do use it for pancakes, crepes, waffles, or anything that I want to keep warm. It is absolutely awesome!



Fine Mesh Strainer
I use this all of the time! This is how I sift my flour, and how I remove seeds or other large particles from things that I am making.



Cookie Scoop
I use this with all of my cookies, and believe me I make cookies very VERY frequently, and love this scoop!



Food Scale
Food scales are not that expensive and so worth the results! Any recipe that has a weight on it I use it! Things seem to turn out so much better when I use the exact weight.
